Let's see. He went to the playoffs 3 of the last 4 years with the Falcons; a league where Saban could not have a winning season--so he must suck
He was no. 2 in red zone defense and 6th in rushing defense in the NFL--so he must suck
He created the number 3 rated scoring defense in the country for UGA in 2003 (that was the year Saban took LSU to the BCS) and beat Saban in 2004--so he must suck
Tiders telling us how bad he is when they should be celebrating the MNC--so he must suck
You decide ....

Has there ever been a rematch (in the SEC)since the inception of the SECCG where the losing team in the first game won? 5-1 is the record of the winning teams. The rematch is usually a very convincing win.
The one win by the team that initially lost but won was LSU over UT in 2001. Saban was was the coach but LSU was the team . So what might that mean?

To really take a look at this game, you only need to review overtime of the November game. LSU easily won overtime and aside from one mis-step by the running back ( he was untouched) and ended up in the end zone so the TD was called back therefore all LSU had to do was kick the field goal. I guess you guys want to ignore this part of the game and focus on the field goals. The Bama offense could not get close enough to kick them. It is new game though. Expect a much higher scoring affair this time with the winning team up by 8-11. Follow the money on the lines and that should give an indication of the winner.
Right now aside from potential arrests and injuries LSU should do what they have done every game.

Sorry Tiders, Gus is staying;NC job is filled.
Roof will be moving on though so this was one rough rebuilding year for AU which was a perfect storm for disappointment like last year was for success. The Tigers will be ready late next year and 2013. I know you guys are "not worried" and that is exactly how we like it.

I believe the poster is stating that he has the golf course to himself because everyone is at the game; therefore, he wants this to occur weekly. He is also making a passive jab at all the fans and how stupid both sides are getting so wrapped up in the rivalry while he just enjoys himself away from the morons. But, obviously you did not catch that and that is his very point!

FLAME POTENTIAL:
I feel for you Alabama fans. You must feel like Auburn did in 2004, except your team actually played the game and lost. Here is some information for the illogical Bama fans (not the realistic ones)

Alabama lost to the better team and here is why. Remember "team" also includes "special teams". As hypothetical, if the score had been 0-0 for the whole game and, if Bama had run back a kick return and won the game with that only score all would agree they won; that is a "special teams" score and part of the game. Field goals are part of it too, points are points.

No rematch is needed. The rematch already happened. They call this "overtime". Alabama definitely lost the "second" game. In fact if the untouched running back for LSU doesn't step out of bounds on his own (he was untouched-watch the replay), it is a touchdown. But again that is the rules.

Secondly, lets say in January they play the game again. Alabama wins this game. Will we all say Alabama is the National Champion? Or are they Co-champions? Then one MORE game has to decide it. Nationally (not necessarily in the South), no one wants to see that because another school will be slighted.

The SEC is a playoff game every week. In any other year, Alabama would be National Champions.

They reviewed the call in the booth. The rules state the receiver has to have "control" of the ball when the play ends. When did that occur?

sorry to repeat myself. It was a new game in overtime. Both teams started on the 25. One team kicked from the 43 the other from the 15. Three plays before the game winning kick, the LSU player stepped out of bounds on his own (he was untouched by a defender) or it is 6 points. Overtime was the "reader's digest" of the game.

For one brief moment we all thought Alabama won that game on the Williams catch. Unfortunately, he did not end up with the ball. With 102,000 in attendance LSU still got the job done. This is the best Alabama team in the past 35-40 years except for special teams.

How does Les Miles beat a Saban staff at home? At some time it has to be admitted that Miles is better than Nick Saban.

Maybe but, seems to me Bama had 100,000+ yelling in "their" ears last night and still lost it. The interception cost the game and so did AJ. Evidently, Bama needs to get closer to the end zone to make extra point type kicks. Those were not available.

On many different levels, Bama (the team and coaches) should have won that game they just could not close the sale. They are number 2 in the country no matter what the polls say.

Replay the overtime of the game and you truly see who the better team was. It was the game in "Cliff's" notes.
